Do turtles need many water features in the tank?
Aquatic turtles need to live in water. How deep depends on the species. Turtles like painted turtles or slider turtles need water to be as deep as possible. Turtles like musk and snapping turtles need shallower water. They have to have land too, a turtle need to be able to completely dry off when ever they want to. Tortoises or box turtles need a shallow, easy to climb in, dish that is big enough for then to fit in so they can sit in it and drink when ever they want.
How long do pond turtles stay under water?
It depends on the turtle species. A "pond turtle" is generally just a large turtle. Most turtles can hold their breath for at least 10-20 minutes but other turtles can hold their breath for 40-50 minutes. Although they can hold their breath for a long time a lot of turtles will just come up every couple of minutes.
How many times a day do you clean a turtle?
That depends, if you have a twenty gallon tank (too small, but just for example) you should have a filter that can filter 20 gallons efficiently. I would recomend a whisper power filter, it tells you how big of a tank it should be in. (For a 20 gal. it will say on it "20".) hope this helps :)
How long can turtles breathe under water?
Feeding snapping turtles can stay underwater for a few hours. They can stay under so long because they do not need to burn oxygen to make their own heat because they are cold-blooded. Metabolizing oxygen at a very low rate is the key to a turtle's ability to stay underwater for long periods. For example, during winter hibernation, a turtle will bury himself in the mud at the bottom of a pond or lake. The water surrounding the turtle will remain at about 39 degrees F and will not freeze, allowing the turtle to extract oxygen from the water. The turtle's heart will only beat one time every 10 minutes during hibernation.Please sight a reference before putting inane remarks here. Snapping turtles are a fascination of of mine because of their unique pulmonary systems (easily the most efficient in the world).
